A natural, new age Christmas gift guide
I think the older I get, the less tolerant I am of shopping centres!! Finding a park, the noise, the people… it all does my head in.
These days I much prefer to do online shopping from Aussie family businesses. I can relax in my pyjamas with a cup of tea, browse and buy with a few clicks and then get it all delivered to my door.
I have been steadily collecting gift ideas for a few months for you. I am very fussy about what makes it into my Christmas Gift Guides… they need to be affordable, healthy, organic, fair trade, non toxic, recycled or eco-friendly and pretty much just awesome.
Plus, I have also found some awesome deals – discount codes and free shipping so take advantage.
I hope you like the list! Let me know in the comments what you think.
Get eight taster packets of Crio Bru in a beautiful gift box! Crio Bru is one of my all time favourite healthy drinks. The ground cacao beans come in a variety of flavours for an awesome chocolatey hot or cold drink or for using in cooking. It’s the perfect substitute for coffee if you want to give up or cut back.
If you want to spend a little more, add in a Fressko Flask to brew the Crio in! This is the ideal gift for those hard to buy for people. I often have a few packs on hand for thank you gifts throughout the year and they are always well-received.
